Date of download: 11/12/2016 From: Continuous Intravenous Epoprostenol for Pulmonary Hypertension Due to the Scleroderma Spectrum of DiseaseA Randomized, Controlled TrialA Randomized, Controlled Trial Ann Intern Med. 2000;132(6): doi: / Median changes from baseline in Borg Dyspnea Score (left) and Dyspnea-Fatigue Rating (right) for the conventional therapy group (white bars) and the epoprostenol group (striped bars).A negative change from baseline (to a lower score) reflects an improvement in symptoms. Borg Dyspnea Scores improved (decreased) in the epoprostenol group and worsened (increased) in the conventional therapy group over 12 weeks. The Hodges- Lehmann estimate for the true treatment effect of epoprostenol compared with conventional therapy, based on the difference in change from baseline in the median Borg Dyspnea Score, was 1.0 (95% CI, 0.5 to 2.0) at week 1, 1.5 (CI, 1.0 to 2.5) at week 6, and 2.5 (CI, 1.5 to 3.5) at week 12. Dyspnea-Fatigue Ratings improved (increased) in the epoprostenol group and worsened (decreased) in the conventional therapy group over 12 weeks. The Hodges-Lehmann estimate for the true treatment effect of epoprostenol compared with conventional therapy, based on the difference in change from baseline in the median Dyspnea-Fatigue Rating, was 0.0 (CI, −1.0 to 0.0) at week 1, −2.0 (CI, −2.0 to −1.0) at week 6, and −2.0 (CI, −3.0 to −2.0) at week 12. Confidence intervals that do not contain 0 indicate statistical significance. Figure Legend: Copyright © American College of Physicians. All rights reserved.American College of Physicians
